Yeah, the total on their KS page fell short of $4 million but adding in the Paypal backers it should be over $4.1 mil. They seem to still be taking Paypal backers too for those who have been under a rock and missed the KS campaign.

There were the original three, two for the 40k+ Likes on FB...

There are currently 13 levels I believe including the one additional from FB likes. They only got about 24k Likes on their FB page. The 40k+ Likes on the KS page were only for the PE KS page and not Obsidian which I don't think counted.

I am sure there were enough Paypal backers to increase the number to at least 14 though because only 1014 more were needed for the next level.

They just want to make the best game they can, and the more money they get can help them do that. They're excited to do it just like the backer are excited about the final product. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Them adding additional levels to the dungeon was only based off number of backers, not money.

Yeah, they're supposed to keep their Paypal backer page up for a few more days at least so you can back there if you want. Now you know what the conversion rate is so you don't have to worry about that anymore.

No, I think it would be a good idea too but KS could do a lot of things to improve their site. I was just wondering if you knew about the PE before today because it sounded like you didn't have much time to decide. No biggie though, the game will be available for sale once it's finished and they may even keep Paypal open for those who missed the KS campaign.

Edit: Actually it looks like their Paypal site is still up! You should try there if you got Paypal.

Thanks to me and 73,975 other backers, PE has been successfully funded.

Hmm, I don't know why you say that.. $25 is at least half of what it'll cost when released. Also, there were a few $20 spots that opened up towards the end.

Yeah, it looks like the guy stops at his waist though. Under that it looks more like caves with big gems or crystals in it. I still think it'd be cool to have a banner or bookmark of the Endless Dungeon image.

OK! After much team deliberation we have one final ultimate stretch goal. At $4.0m we will be enhancing the whole game. We will use live instrumentation for the soundtrack, add developer in-game commentary, and use every dollar between $3.5m and $4m to enhance the game. Also at $4.0m Chris Avellone will be forced to play Arcanum."

Yeah, check the latest news on Blues and you'll see a new topic about it.

Cutter wrote on Oct 16, 2012, 16:51:Enh, I really wish they would have made making a good NWN style editor a MAJOR focus as expansion goal. Extend the game life for years and let the community build stuff they want. That sort of thing is infinitely more important - to me at any rate - than any and all of their stretch goals put together.

They mentioned that in one of their updates I believe. They said they would release a game editor if possible once they got more experience with the new engine they're using (new to them). It may be something they can add to the expansion as well.
